At least half the time spotters are unnecessary and annoying. If I am not asking for help GTF outta here. Stop waving your arms and go somewhere else.

Man that's true. I took the doors and top off mine one day, it just looked like it hadn't made it off the assembly line yet, looked terrible. And I really wish I had the painted top.
I agree. I think our nacho with color matched to looks better with the doors off and the roof on.

My 3rd unpopular opinion. Speed limiters. I hate it when it goes off. It's not too bad in the JT. But It getting REAL noisy in the Nismo doing a buck 40. I wish she would just keep her mouth shut.
You married her........

Man don't even get me started. We lived in this quiet little community in Kissimmee for 4+ years. There was nothing but an empty field behind us. A year after we moved in, of course, HEY LET'S BUILD SOME "LUXURY APARTMENTS" AND RUIN EVERYTHING! And of course, nothing but rowdy 20-somethings rent them, so our nice quiet backyard turned into loud parties with shit music every weekend.

Last year we sold that house and moved up to a small development between Apopka and Winter Garden. Once you get off 429, it's just a bunch of small local roads with trees, forests, and farms all around. It was nice, at first. But for the past few months... ?‍♂

JUST KIDDING! KNOCK ALL THE TREES DOWN AND BUILD MORE LUXURY APARTMENTS!!! ???

I am beginning to wonder if there is a way to mount forward-facing spikes on my bumper in the event that I ever see a real estate developer crossing the street.
Wait don't forget the touristas who are in the left hand lane and then decide to exit on I4 crossing all the lanes of traffic. Then they can't understand why they had an accident.

I worked the Howard Johnson's in Kissimmee at the entrance to the turnpike back in the 70's. Kissimmee was a sleepy little town on the way to WDW. Every time I come back, I'm amazed and saddened about how overcrowded it has become.

Yep, every stoplight has basically become a drag strip for Honda and Toyota fart cannons. It's awful to drive in.

I just found out I have a second “unpopular opinion” apparently.

#2 ….I live in Orlando and I enjoy it ?
Nothing wrong with that! There's a lot to see and do here; you just have to put up with a LOT in order to experience it all. Waiting in lines is just a way of life here.

People who think your Jeep isn't good enough because you didn't do a 3" lift and put 37's or bigger tires on it.

Complaining about gas mileage after you've added a ton of mods on it. Or any other complaint about wind noise, ride quality etc. in their Jeep. Didn't you test drive it before you bought it.

Needed to post in this thread to avoid the backlash in a separate, trending thread on this site. Anyone that thinks "Reign" (AKA, Purple) is a good, potential, color for the Gladiator needs some counseling. I suggest an intervention level event for those who advocate for this option.

I love that color. But my jeep is bright yellow-orange, so what do I know? I had a purple challenger a few years ago too. And many more years ago, I had a purple-blue 90s civic (factory color). I think it was called electron blue pearl.

I would have a difficult time owning a vehicle with paint called Snazberry. Sorry.
Literally no one will know it's called that. It's just Burgundy. Same color formerly known as Dark Garnet Red Pearl, Velvet Red Pearl Tricoat, and Delmonico Red Pearl.
